Example text
Simmel is fleshing out in more definite terms a version of Fichte’s old adage that the philosophical position one chooses depends on the kind of person one is. Accordingly, in a short essay On the History of Philosophy he suggests that each philosophy should be regarded as a worldview, as “an expression of the existential relationship between a mind and the cosmos as a whole” (Simmel 1980: 199). This position bears significant consequences for the conception of truth in philosophy and the kind of cultural function that philosophy is taken to fulfill: What matters in the assertions of philosophy is not the adequacy to an object – in whatever sense we understand it – but rather their adequate expression of the philosopher’s own being, of the human type that lives within the philosopher.
Rather, it seems that most philosophical turns eventually lose momentum when practitioners in the field start to register a certain uneasiness about the excessive technicalization and the restriction of focus that every such turn inevitably implies. The initial enthusiasm ensuing from the ability to set boundaries to philosophical questioning and give precise definitions to philosophical terms tends eventually to morph into boredom and a sense of insipidity. This uneasiness generally coincides with a desire to recover a more holistic perspective in philosophy and to address the perennial questions about our human condition and its meaning in a world rendered by the advancement of empirical research increasingly foreign to our innermost aspirations.
Nonetheless, there is an undeniable difference between (2) and (3). The meaningconfiguration in (3) is not only intelligible, it is also valid, and more specifically it falls into the distinctive sphere of validity of theoretical truth. Values for Rickert are the non-empirical “entities” to which validity attaches and by reference to which we can orient ourselves in the mundum intelligibilis of non-sensible meaning-configurations. Values cannot be further explained by reference to other phenomena of meaning or reality.
